3 day hockey game ends
Hockey marathon: Twin Cities kids battle for playoff spot as game enters 3rd day
A youth hockey playoff game between a pair of Twin Cities metro teams has turned into a marathon event, entering its third day on Wednesday.
The Cottage Grove and St. Paul U-12 girls teams started playing Monday night but the game was tied 1-1 after three regulation periods and six overtimes.
Play was suspended at 10:45 p.m. and resumed Tuesday with the seventh overtime. Despite playing through the 10th overtime, the game remained tied, leading to another suspension.
Now, the teams will convene against Wednesday night for the 11th overtime (and potentially additional periods). The match will resume at South St. Paul’s Doug Woog Arena.
